I keep getting the following error on running rake for the creation of the entries table. Does anyone else get this? Any ideas what might be going wrong? I am copying and pasting the code directly into my text editor (perhaps this is causing issues?). rake aborted! ./db/migrate//001_create_entries.rb:2: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting '\n' or ';' endrop_table :entries_at, :datetimexting

Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.

  There doesn't appear to be any errors in the migration code displayed here.
  
  At any rate, you can download the full source package from the second example, which should include the working migration files:

  Thanks Greg, appreciate the prompt reply, I was floundering a bit there.
  I think it's possibly an issue with my text editor.
  Cheers,
